Tips on Micro-Teaching (Virtual)
1. Make sure that you have a strong internet connection,
functional camera and microphones,fully charge PCs or CPs
and comfortable venue free from distraction and noise.
2. Mute the microphones of your students whenever necessary.
Unmute only if you need them to speak or participate and
ask or answer questions.
3. Strongly enforce the students to turn on their camera during
the sessionand use functional microphones from
participation.
4. Observe time management, make sure to discuss the most
significant topics.
5. Follow the tips in micro-teaching (face to face) you think
applicable in virtual. Make sure that your students are still up
with you until the end of the session.
